Life in Lockdown

Stop motion animation that portrays the preferred lifestyle of an introverted man who has completely accepted his own true nature.

A young poet finds himself at rock bottom with nothing left to lose, he is given two choices to change his life.

This stop motion animation celebrate diversity in relationships. It tenderly presents the connective power of love that never discriminates between gender or colour. The film depicts a simple ‘falling in love’ between two shy men, one black and one white, who work in the same office. Through the act of sharing some biscuits they connect and we see how they spend a lifetime together from that one precious moment in time.

This new stop-animation film by Lili Giacobino called “This too shall pass”, is a dramatic gothic tale of the resilience and strength that we can embody when we allow space for healing after experiencing an emotional dagger to the heart. The film illustrates the transition from anguish to rage through to stillness and settlement and concludes with a reminder that ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’.

In this personal stop motion animation, Lili Giacobino wanted to share her experience as a childfree woman and empower other women to follow their own journey and trust their instinct.

This stop motion animation exposes that big elephant in society’s room that expects us all to fit into a predetermined box of ‘normality’ and delicately reveals the return to joy when we are able to embrace ourselves exactly as we are.

This steampunk animation is dedicated to all crafters, designers and artists of all kinds who spend so much time with their hands covered in glue, paints and other substances. Keep crafting, it is good for your soul! Craftmanship has been Lili Giacobino's world for most of her life and she decided to create this artwork as a love letter to everything handmade with care and imagination.

“Your Name, Your Choice,” offers a deep insight into something we often take for granted - our own name and our choice to not be defined by it. With characters and themes ranging from loving parents and connected families to disapproval, disregard, and gender identification, the message of joy from having the courage to freely express ourselves, is brought to life. Set in contrasting homes, council buildings, and a pub - we are transported into a familiar world that feels personal and relevant to us all and gives us an empowering message of how we have the choice to walk away from what no longer feels true and live the name that we choose.
